FOLSOM - South Jersey Gas on Tuesday announced the decision to indefinitely close five service centers as a result of the COVID-19 spread.

The impacted locations are Atlantic City, Glassboro, Millville, North Swainton and Pleasantville.

“We continue monitoring impacts the COVID-19 virus may have on our customers, employees and the communities we serve,” Dave Robbins, president of South Jersey Gas, said. “The safety of each of these valued stakeholders remains our highest priority, which is why we have made this decision as a precautionary health and safety measure.”

South Jersey Gas said it will evaluate changing circumstances and use guidance from government and public health entities during the closure.
